[. . . ] Leica DFC345 FX High Resolution, High Sensitivity Monochrome Camera for Fluorescence Applications Detailed Documentation of Fluorescence Specimens at High Speed Low light fluorescent documentation creates special demands for digital cameras. [. . . ] The combination of low background and high quantum efficiency makes this camera ideally suited for high contrast documentation of even weak fluorescence signals. Cultured cortical neurons of the rat (DAPI, Cy2, Cy5), FAN GmbH, Magdeburg. Z-stack acquired with Leica AF6000. The automated research microscope Leica DM6000 B with the digital camera Leica DFC345 FX. 2 Prepared for demanding multidimensional image acquisition The new Leica DFC345 FX images fine structures and delivers top picture quality for practically all fluorescence applications. With the "overlapping mode" (temporal overlap of exposure time and readout time), the camera is especially well suited for multidimensional image acquisition applications with high-speed requirements. Faster frame rates and further enhancement of signal to noise ratio can be achieved by various binning modes and flexible readout of sensor sub-regions. The camera also features a trigger capability as prerequisite for finely tuned operation of peripheral devices, such as external excitation light sources, shutters, and motorized stages . The complete system, including the microscope, light source, and camera operates as a harmonized system for easy, high-quality multidimensional image acquisition. The camera is equipped with a C-mount coupling for connection to a wide range of microscopes. A FireWire b interface (IEEE1394b) is available for simple, reliable data transmission to the computer.
